'Tis the season, for some mighty awesome bacon gifts. My first so far...in the non-edible, clothing category....Bacon Apron! Next time I'm smoking up another pork belly (in about 11 days) I'll be sporting this baby... (Thanks Mark!)

In fresh bacon news this week...Santa read my letter...(even though I was quite certain I was on the naughty list)...and Merry Christmas! Bacon will get cheaper. With the great corn crop this year pigs have had an abundance of cheap corn to eat and are happy as pigs in ...well, you know. What does that mean for the bacon connoisseur like you? Brace yourself, Bacon prices will drop. (I don't know about you, but my bacon budget is pretty high, so this is great news!) Businessweek reports that currently bacon prices are nationally over $5 per pound. Since September 2013, the price for bacon has slowly been going up and a national crisis of a impending bacon shortage were predicted. It is now estimated that wholesale pork belly (just like the kind I buy to make my own bacon) will drop to around $1.80 a pound. What does that mean for you? If your lucky and local, more bacon food to share from yours truly! What does that mean for me? I need to get started on a business proposal on a start-up for my own bacon food truck. I could be bringing that bacon to you...! If that is not one of the best Bacony Christmas Presents ever, then I don't know what is.

Do you or a loved one suffer from Baconaholism? Are you still in search of a bacon gift for Christmas? There is a plethora of bacon products on the market, and I've seen just about everything out there...of course, I do spend my free time googling bacon....

This recipe evolved because I was hungry for breakfast, and I had potatoes. My husband used to make the frittatas once in awhile, however, I think these were better. Really though, how could you go wrong for breakfast?
